* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of north Georgia, including the following counties, Bartow, Catoosa, Chattooga, Cherokee, Cobb, Dade, Dawson, Fannin, Floyd, Gilmer, Gordon, Haralson, Lumpkin, Murray, Paulding, Pickens, Polk, Towns, Union, Walker, Whitfield, and White. * WHEN...Through Saturday evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Multiple rounds of rainfall are expected to impact portions of north Georgia overnight into Saturday afternoon, when a front will move through and end the threat. Widespread rainfall totals of 2-4" with locally higher amounts up to 6" possible. Convective rainfall (thunderstorms) will also be possible during this time, which may have locally high enough rainfall rates to induce flash flooding in poor drainage areas, as well as creeks and streams prone to flash flooding given the antecedent rainfall. Larger stem riverine flooding is not anticipated given the ongoing drought and low base state that these rivers are starting from. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
